What are some events in history that most people would be surprised happened in parallel or at least within the same time period?
-
And Christoffer Lee (Saruman) was at the execution!
He was at the last public excecution which happened in 1939, after this one they were still done but not publicly
-
The German ship Blücher was sunk during WW2 by a Whitehead Torpedo.
Buffalo Bill likely passed within a few hundred yards of one such torpedo while visiting Britain.
Horse noises

The fax machine was invented almost 2 decades before the outbreak of the American Civil War.

Although they are both stories based on historical events that have been embellished, the Trojan war and the Hebrews leaving Egypt very well could have been happening at the same time (around 1180 BCE)
The pyramids in Egypt were built before, during and after Noah's flood was supposed to be killing everyone.

There, Alexios IV offered to pay the entire debt owed to the Venetians, give 200,000 silver marks to the crusaders, 10,000 Byzantine professional troops for the Crusade, the maintenance of 500 knights in the Holy Land, the service of the Byzantine navy to transport the Crusader Army to Egypt, and the placement of the Eastern Orthodox Church under the authority of the Pope, if they would sail to Constantinople and topple the reigning emperor Alexios III Angelos, brother of Isaac II.
That fucker got ousted by the public one year later and didn't deliver anything so he essentially scammed the whole crusade. The other parts of the army not simping for Venetian and Thessalonian rat plans just went straight to Acre instead.
